Conjecture on decreasing missing-sum distributions
Conjecture on decreasing missing-sum distributions
Let , and denote the three random-set models used in the paper, and let denote the number of missing sums in the interval . For each distribution, let be the value where its maximum is reached.
Missing-sum monotonicity conjecture. For , the following assertions hold:
- is decreasing.
- is decreasing except for .
- is decreasing except for .
These assertions formalize the observation that the distributions for the number of missing sums may be decreasing in the range after their maximum. The source presents this as a conjecture based on the preceding theorem and discussion, with no proof or resolution given.
